Celebrate the arrival of your little baby by offering your loved ones an original and unique gift with this birth announcement sign.
Protect your first sheet of wood with masking tape so as not to have any unsightly burn marks.
Select all the elements of the template present on the screen and enlarge or reduce to the desired size. In Xtool Creative Space, deselect layers number 3 and 4 by clicking on the eye to hide them.
TO ADD THE NAME ON THE TEMPLATE:
IMPORTANT: The two sheets of plywood and the engraving are on different layers.
If your using an F1, click on each layer and ignore the ones your not cutting out by clicking on the eye. Then move them on to the cutting area as your ready for them. Because the F1 only cuts what is in the grid area, what you do not cut or engrave, simply place them on the side of the grid and make them invisible by clicking on the eye of each layer. This way, you will only engrave or cut what you want by placing them at the center of the grid.
Cut Layers 1 and 2.
Remove the tape residue
Put back the cut sheet of wood in the machine to proceed with the engraving. But before, remember to deselect all layers but the number 3. Then, engrave the information you want such as date of birth, weight, etc... When finished, leave this sheet of wood aside.
Take the second sheet of wood which will have been previously protected with the masking tape. Deselect all layers except number 4 and proceed with cutting.
Paint the solid circle (the back of the main model) with the desired color using paint or other type of coloring. Let it dry, and then glue the face and back together.
Enjoy this original piece and offer it to your loved ones : )
